http://quakelive.idsoftware.com/beta/add If you do, I would reeeeeeeeeally like to get one. I've been such a huge fan of Quake 3, and some of my fondest memories were during the Q3 Beta. I would definitely test the hell out of this beta as well, Q3 has been one of my favorite games of all time. | ||

Eitherway, I love the fact that game companies are realising that gameplay > everything else when it comes to a game. Q3 the best FPS ever? please tell me you've played QW for at least a couple months and have watched top duelers play in order to make that claim. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Many of you have been asking about getting your friends on the QUAKE LIVE beta. We have been running a friend referral program for the project since the early days, here's how things are currently setup: - We regularly pick invitations at random from the general signup list on http://www.quakelive.com/ - We also release friend referral invitations on a regular basis. There is a per-user limit and a global limit, so when we open invitations they are available as first come first serve. Please note that we don't send invitations right away as you add them, it can take a few days as we send them in large batches. The main reason things are working this way, is that we need to control the growth against our current capacity, and we want to keep inviting from the 'general signup' to keep the range of player skill representative of our launch objectives (the friends invitations tend to bring in mostly high skilled players) We will update this post with the current invitations status. When friend referral invitations are available, you can use the link 'Invite a Friend!' in the upper right corner of your home page. Monday Sep 22: 500 friend referrals available Tuesday Sep 23: yesterday's friend referrals have all been used - none currently available Monday Sep 29: 1000 friend referrals available, everyone's invite count has been reset to 2 Tuesday Oct 2: no more friend referrals available for this week if anyone who wants can post their email or pm it to me ill just invite whoevers in order every day they create more invites. Zelniq PM'd me so he gets first dibs | ||

and yes there have been updates to the graphics, and there have been several changes as well. (several weapon rebalances and a couple new weapons) Railgun only does 80 not 100, rockets are faster, plasma gun slightly faster, lightning gun does less damage the further you are, new proximity mine launcher and new nail gun thats like a slow moving rail that does 100, just to name a few of what i heard). there are also several other changes besides weapons as well. Also I saw in CTF there is some new powerup? or something that makes you explode in a huge nuclear explosion when you die. | ||

And the QW rocket launcher is also a bit weird. In Q3, you can really do precision shots with it, e.g. on a particular spot on the ground, and you can be sure that the rocket will fly exactly to that point. | ||

The rocket launcher is absolutely fine, people tend to get 60% accuracy on rocket launcher maps so i seriously don't know what you're basing your information from, I'm going to guess you've played the game once and felt you could adequately review it from that experience. edit: perhaps you're talking about NetQuake and not QuakeWorld? because what you're saying sounds like complete hogwash. | ||

Here's one for example: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=dnpoxN0c5xE&feature=related The 1st minute is already enough - the lightning gun seems quite inaccurate. I do believe that good QW players have mastered the shaft enough so that they hit well with it anyway, but it still looks inaccurate. | ||

You're being deceived by the lightning itself, i don't play with the lightning on and i can vouch for my shaft directly hitting in the center of my crosshair, here's a tip for the future, play the games before criticizing them. Here's an example of fakeshaft completely turned on, notice how rigid it is. | ||

"Monday Oct 6: The remainder of last week's referrals was sent this morning. We plan on putting up more in a few days." I'll let you guys know when the new invites come. Also the game really does play at 125 fps in your browser, or full screen in any resolution you want. It's really cool. The biggest downside is the current lack of pro mods. And the game installs to your application data folder, it's about 200mb of stuff. I have a smallish C partition so it was annoying, but a lot of games like to dump things in there. | ||

Let me preface by saying I'm North American and what I have to say on this doesn't include Euro players. You prolly never played NQ back in the days of "TOURNAMENT 3" or when Thresh won the ferrari... Don't let me hear you disrespect NQ again. QW always felt fake and "warpy". NQ DM3 4v4 will always be the best gameplay ever. Clan Kapitol for life. (did you know fatality played q1? wombat too? yeah, with cK and I used to smash them both(dm6 king)) Anyone who wants an NQ 1v1 PM me. For the record, QW was played by all the kids that couldn't afford/run Q3. The entire competitive community for Q1 transitioned to Q3. ALL of the top players moved on. So anyone who played QW after the release of Q3 was NOT a top dueler and anyone who played it before Q3 was a loser/weirdo. Again, if you played QW before Q3 you were not in the loop of competitive Quake. QW has been a community of outcasts and always will be. Yes, there were some great duels played on qw, but not till new maps were made for the completely different physics. The real problem with the entire scene and reason it died was cheating. | ||

GNi to Host New id Software QUAKE LIVE Title Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Provider GNI to Host id Software’s QUAKE LIVE Arena Shooter on Its Expandable DHI Environment SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GNi, a leading provider of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) hosting solutions, announced today that is has been selected by id Software™ to facilitate the delivery of QUAKE LIVE™, an innovative and free-to-play online multiplayer shooter experience based on the popular QUAKE Arena games. Created by id Software as an all-new way to deliver the excitement and energy of first-person multiplayer action to a broader audience than ever before, QUAKE LIVE offers game players of all skill levels a totally free and easily accessible multiplayer game and community through a single website at quakelive.com. Every element of the experience, including friends lists and communication, player skill matching, sponsored events and tournaments, stats tracking, and even the game itself is accessed and delivered free of charge through the web browser. “GNi has significant experience in the hosting of rapidly-scaling online games which solidified them as an excellent choice to host QUAKE LIVE. The back-end systems and infrastructure are critical elements in reliably delivering QUAKE LIVE’s state-of-the-art web interface, and GNi’s ability to scale quickly using their Dedicated Hosting Infrastructure ensures that we always have the immediate and flexible capacity to provide our constantly expanding player base the best game experience on the web,” stated Todd Hollenshead, CEO of id Software. “Id Software is certainly a marquee brand and historically significant in the development of present day online gaming, so to be chosen to be a part of this rollout is a significant honor for GNI” said Philip Bouchard CEO of GNI. “The respective visions of id Software and GNI come together as we continue to see growth in the web-based community model as a strategic venue for reaching dedicated gamers and creating brand loyalty through well executed development and delivery.” With the massive growth of online gaming, GNi continues to see increasing demand for high-performance, low – latency games infrastructure. With the traditional do-it-yourself model, game developers and publishers have to struggle to meet that demand via risky capital expenditure. IaaS gives game companies flexibility through the elimination of the need to purchase servers, software, data center space or network equipment. Developers and publishers see dividends by releasing games online, and are more likely to utilize this IaaS model as a way to release new games without large-scale infrastructure investment.

First impressions: It's so awesome. There is so much potential here. There are some small bugs and whatnot, and things that definitely need to be added (enemy model selection, brightskins, crosshair size/color selection, etc) but it definitely runs well enough and feels like good old Q3 with new competitive maps and shit. The fact that it has a matchmaking system also increases its potential because noobs will be able to play games that don't result in scores of 45 to -2 every time. I think the spawning system places the enemy away from the opponent so it's hard to spawn rape and easier for the person getting raped to get a gun/armor/have some kind of defense before their opponent shows up. Also, it's sweet that matches are set to 10 minutes (15 just feels way too long to me). But yeah, anybody want to play? I live in Virginia (East Coast USA), it would be sweet if any of you guys from TL.DotA had Quake Live accounts. | ||

Having played q3 competitivly for a long time at a rather high level ( :D) I feel that 10 min duels aren't long enough at all. Alot of q3 is back and forward frag scoring when you have map control. When youre playing someone decent, it can take 5-10 mins just to get control back and because theyve gayed the spawn system (yeh i dont like new one, tho i can understand its better for newbs - tho ill miss raping randoms 60-0 ) On the matter of brightskins etc, theyve already got them in the beta, tho bright green only. Which is kind of lame as i used to use a black keel with gamma set super high. The netcode is pretty nice tho tbh and reducing rail damage was the one thing that will hopefully keep new players in because the rape wont be so bad. Pc died atm and im too lazy to log in on mums computer, but when im back online on my pc, ill let people know as im sure i have two invites and im willing to bash some chumps for practice | ||

It seems ridiculous, since I JUST got invited, but unless I'm misreading it, I have 5 invites, so PM me your e-mail if you want in and I can give it a shot. Also, can anyone make the rail gun jump on campgrounds redux (I think in Q3 it was q3dm6)? I'm trying to get my movement down before I start dueling, but I've spent 2 hours on this jump, and while I've improved a ton, I've only made it once. So if you can make it consistently then...I have questions for you :> | ||

TATTERS In order to keep momentum in duels you have to utilise timing. Weapons: 5 second respawn. Red Armour/Yellow Armour (RA/YA): 25 seconds respawn. Megahealth (MH): 35 seconds respawn. You need to base your play around these things, especially the latter two. Take note of the routes people use to make your play more efficient! You're already familiar with DM6 (Campgrounds), but also know that if you stick to the same route every time it can be used against you. I know there was at least one time where I fragged you or fl3et (or vice versa) because I knew where you/he was going. The best part of QL is that in order to become better all you have to do is play, and be a bit observational. None of this poring-over-replays-for-hours and memorising build orders crap. I modified my UI so that my round timer is in the top-middle of my screen so I can keep track of shit more effectively. Holla back if any of you think this sounds useful and I'll show you how to install that. also getting 4 frags against fl3et is pretty good | ||

Another aspect of dueling is proper movement, like strafejumping and not running in one direction for extended periods of time (hello tracking rockets). The latter is more important than the former. There's a nice video from a Q3 mod called DeFRaG that I used to play that shows a basic two hop strafejump, from QZDM6's bridge to the rail platform (bridge to rail - b2r). + Show Spoiler [demonstration] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_Hoz5r0Th8 The purple keys are the keys he is currently pressing. The theory is that you slowly move the mouse in the direction of the strafe key you are holding, and you accelerate. The flick at the beginning is to get maximum benefit from a running start, you can also flick from side to side if you just want to go straight. It's not good to always strafe jump everywhere though, because jumps are loud and sound is pretty much the biggest factor in knowing where your opponent is. What I like about QL is that even though I enjoy dueling the most, every other game mode is awesome too. I suck at FFAs though, maybe my sens is too high ~ ya sure, I'll duel. | ||

There's a lot of people who picked the game up and never stopped playing.

My suggestion is to start off playing FFA & team games to get used to the game, that's what I did o: | ||

Also you're going to need to start learning to time items. DM6 for example, both RA/YA are 25 seconds and mega health is 35. It's kind of essential at higher level play to know exactly when an item is coming. If the enemy has control and you're getting raped. Slow down , use your walk bind, pick up the shards or the stray armor and hit and run them with the rg/rl. You want to keep this up until you can pick up an RA/MH and start to time and gain control again. | ||

I've just registered, am still in the waiting queue... and I'll probably play my first game on Sunday against another old Q3 freak (who was in EK - one of the best RA3 clans back in the day). Gonna be fun, especially since we both didn't play for 4-5 years. Actually, I'm looking forward to QL more than SC2... It's strange, at first I was really pumped for SC2 but now I don't really care about it much anymore. Btw, is it just me or does QL seem to be a little bit faster than Q3? Or maybe it's just me not being used to Q3 gameplay anymore. Would be cool If it was faster. | ||

r_picmip 16 (push enter and then>) vid_restart You'll have a very performance graphic. It may look cartoonish though but that's how all the quake players put their setting. Plz note that q3 has many many things which you can config. Most of them use it : cg_simpleitems 1 cg_forceenemymodel keel/sport (to have all your ennemies in green keel skin, although it didn't work for me so i put tankjr/sport) There are prolly many others things but i guess that's enough in order to start with a crappy computer Also for Nvidia users : If you have somewhat a lower refresh rate than usual type : r_displayrefresh 60+ (Default is 60 but beware, having them too high will fuck your graphic card up that's why they didn't put it officially on the forum). The best way is to have the same refresh rate that you're actually using with windows (I've put it at 85 Hz) | ||

You can do it by typing those 2 lines in the console : r_picmip 16 (push enter and then>) vid_restart You'll have a very performance graphic.

Aim for 120. I find it hard to believe that you even know how to strafe jump while giving horrible suggestions like this. | ||
